A 56-year-old woman died last night after being stabbed during an attempted robbery at a bakery in the Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona.
At around 21:00, a man wielding a knife entered the bakery in calle Muntaner and demanded the cash from the till. When the woman refused to hand over the cash, the robber stabbed her three times before fleeing empty handed.
The robber was pursued by a Local Police patrol and apprehended. The woman was taken to hospital in a critical condition but later died from her wounds.
